- Was a top MVP candidate at one point in the season
- Still one of the best scorers in the league
- Carried the Rockets without Yao
- Is a playmaker
- Can score, rebound, defend, pass, steal, block. Most all-arounded player behind Kevin Garnett and Lebron James

1. Duncan
2. Kobe
3. LeBron / Wade
4. LeBron / Wade
5. Nowtizki (He was the mvp so I have to have him at 5)
6. Garnett
7. Steve Nash
8. Carmelo
9. Gilbert (YES I take him over AI)
10. AI

So yes 10 I guess. People to consider thought: Yao, Tmac, Kidd, Bosh, Deron Williams(he is still young). Im ok with anyone of them above AI too. Maybe not Deron or Bosh but Yao, Tmac and Kidd might be better than AI.

Just a brief explanation.

Instead of Mac, I would take Melo. He was an MVP candidate early last season.

He is one of the best scorers in the league and is only going to get better.

He can carry a team.

Not so much of a playmaker but he doesn't need to be.

He can score and rebound fairly well.

Maybe it's just Mcgrady has never been out of the first round that bugs me. Melo hasn't either, but he's young.
